Peppermint oil has been found to be what is known as a Smooth Muscle Relaxant. This helps stop the muscles in the intestines from spasming and squeezing, and allows stuff from the stomach to move more easily “downward”.

A relaxed gastrointestinal tract can frequently reduce nausea and prevent vomiting.
